•

If you hold the gear selector toward "–", the

transmission will downshift one gear at a

time and will utilize the braking power of

the engine. If the current speed is too high

for using a lower gear, the downshift will

not occur until the speed has decreased

enough to allow the lower gear to be used.

•

If you slow to a very low speed, the trans-

mission will automatically shift down.

Shiftlock – Neutral (N)

If the gear selector is in the N position and the

vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 sec-

onds (irrespective of whether the engine is run-

ning) then the gear selector is locked.

To be able to move the gear selector from N to

another gear position, the brake pedal must be

depressed and the ignition must be in posi-

tion II, see page 81.

Geartronic–Sport mode (S)

This transmission mode provides sportier shift-

ing characteristics and enables a more active

driving style by making it possible to drive at

higher rpm in each gear before shifting up. The

engine also responds faster when the throttle

pedal is pressed.

To access Sport mode from Drive (D), move the

gear selector to the right. The transmission will

not switch to manual shifting mode until the

gear selector is moved forward or rearward

toward + or -.

Sport mode can be selected any time.

NOTE

•

When the transmission is in Sport

mode, the transmission symbol in the

main instrument panel will change from

D to S (see page 75).

•

Please be aware that using Sport mode

may result in a slight decrease in fuel

economy. Driving in D can help improve

fuel economy.

Geartronic–starting on slippery surfaces

Selecting 3rd gear in Geartronic’s manual shift-

ing mode can help provide better traction when

starting off on slippery surfaces. To do so:

1. Depress the brake pedal and move the

gear selector to the right from the D posi-

tion to the manual shifting position. The

text in the instrument panel display will

change from

D to 1.

2. Press the gear selector forward and

release it (this selects 2nd gear). Press the

selector forward again and release it to

select 3rd gear.

3. Release the brake pedal and press gently

on the accelerator pedal.

Shiftlock override

If the vehicle cannot be driven, for example

because of a dead battery, the gear selector

must be moved from the P position before the

vehicle can be moved

Lift away the rubber mat on the floor of the

storage compartment behind the center

console to expose the small opening for

overriding the shiftlock system.

Only available on models with the T6 turbo engine.

If the battery is dead, the electric parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 110.
